i barely use this, like no, this is actually my first time using this, but anyway, I personally think there should be more fat representation in manga, comics, etc., etc., that isn't them trying to get skinny. I've seen my fair share of them, way too many of them, have their character trying to get skinny. I'm not saying this as a bad thing; listen, it's good to want to better yourself or do better, but sometimes being fat isn't a negative thing, but it's treated like it.

I definitely know there's good fat character mangas like Pochamani...there's more I can't remember any at this point in time, BUT I PROMISE I'VE READ THEM, they are out there! however this isn't about this, i've seen way too many fat character who have potential to be good, evil or not, but fall flat because one, they are the same old copy and paste of "FAT, UGLY, THE FACE OF GREED, THE FACE OF GLUTTONY, THEY ARE TOO STUPID, RAH, RAH, RAH" or be seen as something looked down upon, it sucks.

it doesn't help that society (oh here we go), also beat down fat people, like it's something to be change, that it can be seen as beautiful, or sometimes normal, i'm not saying being unhealthy overweight is good, i'm just saying people can be fat and healthy, also smart, good mannered, etc they're just painted out to be the stereotypical fatphobic image because no one wants to understand that bodies can be different, but the same way being unhealthly fat can be the same for unhealthly skinny but no one wanna talk about that, but even the disorders with lacking of eatting is different for fat people? anyway i'm going off topic.


People can make good fat characters, they can be unique, they can evil, they can be good, they can be neutral, just don't have it centered around them being fat. people. can. just. be. fat. shocker right? it can just happen! i just personally hate the fatphobia, it causes more harm than good, a fat character should have a personality, should have a focus, should have an upbringing that changes or affects their outlook on things, can be seen as a main character, even if they were a side character there should be more to them than just a hollow out shape of stereotypes. Hell, there can be attractive fat people/characters just barely anyone wanna acknowledge that fact or explore that, and not that usual slim thick, that's not fat, that's just a curvy body, no she's not fat, she just got 20-30 percent body fat, that's healthy, having giant breast, hips, and ass isnt' fat she's well endowed. anyway gender doesn't matter in this; this affects everyone equally.

anyway this is just me ranting of something i was tired of seeing, as uh, rolling drumroll, fat person, go figured.

This might sound crazy to most but One Piece have good fat characters. Big Mom breaks a lot of stereotypes. She is a single mom with 83 kids and still feared by many. Hell, she is one of the strongest despite it all. Lola who are one of her kids is a good character. She doesn't take shit from men and chooses her own life. She even pulled one of the finest men in One piece.

Oda is still questionable but I will give him props for his he writes characters especially the women in the Charlotte family.

i mean yeah, i'llg ive him some props but ngl he did kinda the bare minimum, yeah he makes some good characters for his story, compelling characters too, big mom and lola are good characters in my opinion buut still using that stereottype which yeah can be done well, but it's always the fat characters that catch that fade.

I agree but Lola literally bagged Loki. A giant who is a prince and some all time powerful guy and she rejected him. Loki wanted her bad and she said no you're not my type. I love that for Lola fr.

But dare I say he writes characters that have different gender identities the best

You know what, fuck it up lola, get it, love her for that. Even then oda did try, but still quite bare, but better than nothing.

Can you repost this as a question so it doesn't get buried? I think this is a really important conversation to have especially with all the growing pro ed propaganda online
